PyTorch Geometric (PyG)

PyTorch Geometric (PyG)

Overview

PyTorch Geometric is a library built on PyTorch for developing and training Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). Apply this skill for deep learning on graphs and irregular structures, including mini-batch processing, multi-GPU training, and geometric deep learning applications.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when working with:

• Graph-based machine learning: Node classification, graph classification, link prediction
• Molecular property prediction: Drug discovery, chemical property prediction
• Social network analysis: Community detection, influence prediction
• Citation networks: Paper classification, recommendation systems
• 3D geometric data: Point clouds, meshes, molecular structures
• Heterogeneous graphs: Multi-type nodes and edges (e.g., knowledge graphs)
• Large-scale graph learning: Neighbor sampling, distributed training

Quick Start

Installation

uv pip install torch_geometric

For additional dependencies (sparse operations, clustering):

uv pip install pyg_lib torch_scatter torch_sparse torch_cluster torch_spline_conv -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-${TORCH}+${CUDA}.html

Basic Graph Creation

import torch
from torch_geometric.data import Data

# Create a simple graph with 3 nodes
edge_index = torch.tensor([[0, 1, 1, 2],  # source nodes
                           [1, 0, 2, 1]], dtype=torch.long)  # target nodes
x = torch.tensor([[-1], [0], [1]], dtype=torch.float)  # node features
